CO2 Captured From Coal Unit To Boost Oilfield Production lweb.es/f2619 01.19.2017
Petra Nova is the world’s largest post-combustion carbon capture system, being able to capture more than 5,000 tons of CO2 per day. It is built on an existing coal unit, and delivers captured CO2 through an 80-mile pipeline to the West Ranch oilfield. This captured CO2 will boost production at the oilfield through Enhanced Oil Recovery operations. Over the next few years, oil production at the field is estimated to increase from approximately 300 barrels per day to up to 15,000 barrels per day using captured carbon dioxide.
